Misiu encourages 18-year-olds as 'seniors,' reveals 'early corporate drone' life

The popular Taiwanese band Misiu returned to the "Becoming Adults High School Festival," taking on the role of "seniors" to encourage students about to graduate. Their hit song "Go Fly," released last year to accompany graduates through their final school days, has maintained its popularity and is once again a staple during graduation season.

Upon taking the stage, Misiu ignited the crowd with screams, and lead singer Sheng Hao directly addressed the audience, "Let me hear the sound of 18-year-olds!" The call instantly amplified the audience's volume, with high school students singing along, creating an enthusiastic atmosphere.

As the graduation season peaks, "Go Fly" has been widely shared, heard at ceremonies, school events, and on social media platforms. Misiu performed the song again at the festival, with the audience lighting up the venue with their phone lights, creating a moving scene.

Reflecting on their own beginnings, the band members recalled being young people figuring out their future when they decided to form a band. They described their early days as a period of searching for opportunities and their place in the world, humorously likening it to an "early entry into corporate drone life," with their office being the rehearsal room, stage, and various performance venues.

As experienced seniors, Misiu shared life insights. Bassist Yi Nuo urged students to prioritize self-care, wishing them well and good health in their next phase. Guitarist Zhe An encouraged them not to abandon their aspirations due to perceived inability, urging them to pursue what they truly want to achieve. Drummer Yi Fan advised learning to "find joy in hardship," acknowledging that adult challenges increase but emphasizing the importance of finding fun within difficulties. He encouraged students to charge forward and embrace the journey.
